LETTER FROM MOUNT AIRY.
MOUNT AIRY, N. T., March 7, 1887.
Still AnotAsr Victim .--That boshy-
Doodle tumble which appeared last week,
is another of those pesky little aeas, did
we say mop lies, doctored up by one from
whom we might expect better things.
But the little influence, 1t seems, must
have its victims and we sincerely sympa-
thizs with the Doctor. Now the idea
that any such Doodle business ever occur
red is, to say the least, too silly to talk |
about, and we defy the Doctor or his won
derful influence to prove single word Of |
it. On the other hand, we are abundant
ly able to prove it maliciously false,
which we are sorry to say makes the
Doctor a scandal peddler and falsifier |
aud he is to be pitied or at least the con-
gregation, and ON that account we should |
like to pass IL by unnoticed but others
have heen slandered and we claim the
privilege to speak right out in meeting.
Now 10 justice to Mr. Pidcock we are
compelled to say, that what little bust.
ness we have ever had with him has been
of purely unpolItical, legitimate nature,
and none Of any busy body's business,
and further, Notwithstanding all the abuse,
calumny and nastiness heaped upon him,
we believe him to be far superior in every
particular to any and oil those dirty little
ours who are constantly yelping upon his
heels and singing mud from dark corners
under an assumed livery. As everybody
knows, Mr.. Pidcock last Fan had both
old and some new parties TO fight. He
fought and won, and now they wonder
and conjecture and cry Doodle, and II that
Is not the most ridiculous argument to
prove our sheep was not worth ~ so then
we give it up.
We had hoped to be able to call off the
dogs and make room fer the court and
jury to settle the bill, but this Doodle and
other new Developments make IL impossi-
BILE to do SO and it seems the fun has just
commenced and hot time Is anticipated
on Town meeting day, and IL the boys
will help little, our taxes may be re-
ducsd from $1.10 to about 80 cents All
we ask is two new men on the Committee.
Now, while we think about 1t, we are
puzzled to understand how this a. la-total-
wreck candidate for office managed to
get down SOL .se chalks against the town
ship during the year just ended. We are
Informed that such Is the case and II true
investigation is In order and those dread
full forebodings of ths hot place below
fully explained.
Many funny stories are already afloat,
but as we have heard such ridiculous
tales told about our poor sheep and Doodle
we dare not venture any of them as yet,
and must return to the main question at
issue--the sheep bill. Now the law re-
lating to sheep bills was read over and
over again before the Committee during
the discussion Of this bill, and their pro-
per course emphatically indicated, and
We have it right direct, second-handed
from two Of them that they we're In favor
Of and did all 10 their power to comply
with the requirements OF the law before
the bill was finally disposed Of, and we
expect to hear the same thing from the
third man. Now isn't this just awful |
That one lone-hand behind the throne
more powerful than all the laws Of New
Jersey, more potent than dynamite or
giant powder 1t is fearful and terrible
to contemplate and only designations and
new men at the helm can save West Am
we'll! The protest, we must believe, was
intended for severe little scald on the
American citizens who made affidavit to
the bill and the Committee should have
ignored it or at least complied with the
law In such cases, yet we have felt dis
poses to bear down on them as lightly as
possible and nov give 'em up and shall
give our main attention to the mud ma
chimes. We gave notice that mud ding
lag could not be tolerated and now ac-
cept the issue. Pile on the agony. A
hundred miles from the truth win be con-
adhered good enough from the machines.
Truth is good enough for as.
Are the West Amwell poor kept on
pills II SO the supply should be let out
BY contract. Col. INeKRsoLL.
